马克思 恩格斯著 中共中央马克思恩

About the Author

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the intellectual architects of Marxism, profoundly shaped modern political and economic thought through their collaborative works. Born in 1818 and 1820 respectively, Marx, a German philosopher and economist, and Engels, a German social theorist and industrialist, forged a partnership that critiqued capitalism and envisioned a classless society. Their seminal contributions laid the foundation for socialism and communism, influencing global revolutions and social movements. Despite facing exile and persecution, their ideas on historical materialism and proletarian struggle remain vital in analyzing contemporary inequalities. The Communist Manifesto, co-authored in 1848, stands as their enduring call to action against exploitation, inspiring generations of activists and scholars worldwide.
